so I'm not moaning or anything but i feel like the photo gallery is becoming a bit of a buddy system.
meaning there isn't any constructive crit going around these days and this is a place that ppl come to hide.
it's just how i feel and basically wanted to know: is there a ceiling of learning? like you get to a point where learning the basics is good and well and then ppl are scared of giving crit worth learning off coz it's like giving away secrets of their trade or they don't wanna lose friends by hurting their fragile feelings.

i know the site is open to beginners and learners and exp and opinions of all shapes and sizes. i just find that i ask spec for crit on what could be better i an image, i'll post something that i know isn't quite right and what comments from all opnions big and small but all i get are the "WOW" comments. look i'm not moaning, i like getting those but to be very honest they feel like they are pregen so that i might feel obligated to return the "favour".

does anyone feel the same way?
I know the forum is a good place for construct crit but most ppl are in the galleries and to me that's where alot of help could be tapped into but ppl don't offer their true opinions. i feel like if the whole gallery is getting pos comments all the time - why the hell are we all not pro's by now? plus i wish ppl would se the snap gallery for "my latest badly taken holiday shot" or "this is my best friend shot".

ARGH, I know I sound like I'm moaning, sorry -
